Cuba Under Maximum Pressure: The U.S. is preparing to seek an indictment of Raúl Castro tied to the 1996 “Brothers to the Rescue” shootdown, as CIA chief John Ratcliffe makes rare Havana visits while Washington pushes “fundamental changes.” The pressure comes as Cuba’s energy collapse worsens—Havana reports fuel and diesel running out and blackouts stretching 20–22 hours, with protests flaring. Bolivia Miners’ Standoff: After clashes in La Paz, the government says it struck a deal with protesting miners following nearly 12 hours of talks. Peru Runoff Set: Peru will hold a June 7 presidential runoff between Keiko Fujimori and leftist Roberto Sánchez after no candidate won in April. Venezuela Recovery Watch: The central bank forecasts 8% growth in 2026 amid sovereign debt restructuring and plans to rejoin global finance. Regional Culture Diplomacy: Venezuela and Colombia are coordinating cultural cooperation at the Ibero-American “Arts for Peace” congress. Business & Trade: Sherritt plans to unwind its Cuba mining venture under U.S. sanctions, while Peru’s election drama and USMCA’s July 1 review clock keep trade policy in focus.
